TuneUp ShortCut Cleaner

Introduction

TuneUp ShortCut Cleaner keeps your desktop well organized. ShortCut Cleaner verifies

all of the shortcuts in the Start menu, in the Quick Launch bar and on the desktop. If the

shortcut points to a program that no longer exists or to a deleted file, you can use ShortCut

Cleaner to remove it easily. At the same time, empty folders are removed from the Start

menu. Empty folders usually result from manual reorganization of the Start menu. ShortCut

Cleaner also analyzes the history files of the Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, Windows Media

Player and Nero programs. History files contain references to all of the files recently used

by the program. ShortCut Cleaner checks all of the references and determines whether the

files still exist. If not, the module suggests removing these invalid references.
